Hi, I recently bought an Asus ROG G20AJ-BO8. Here are specs:
GTX 750
Intel i5 @ 3.2 GHz
1TB
Windows 10
These things are pretty cool, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I can get 200 FPS on games like CS:GO.
However, I want to play some other games that are more demanding, and a GTX 750 isn't cutting it.
This computer is fairly small/compact, and I was thinking of getting a GTX 980 reference design (I've heard that reference design is the only type that can fit in this tiny thing). The only thing is that I don't know if my PSU can handle a card like that, because I would have to purchase another external PSU for this computer.
The PSU I have is 230W, and if I got another external PSU it would have 460W.
Basically, do I have to buy more wattage, or is 230W fine for a GTX 980?

Thanks.

Definitely gonna have to upgrade the PSU. I'd get atleast a 500w 80+ Bronze or a 550w 80+ Bronze.
